Good arguments should stand up to scrutiny. If this one fails its because the premise is flawed. I’m not claiming to have all the answers, but I’m pointing out that the OP’s quote stood strong on language but weak under observation. You took up the banner in defense of the OP quote. I don’t know if you lost faith in the OP argument or just don’t recognize its flawed.

My error was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not participating in meaningless mental masturbation.

I’m exploring an idea someone else presented. I’m not sure why you engaged if you weren’t interested in doing the same.
